PRESERVATION
Crevel is committed to enlisting a land & wildlife management agency to determine the suitable acreage of preserved land - based on variables such as soil quality, existing ecosystems, clearings, trees, water sources, etc. - to determine the garden’s qualifications for reduced property tax valuations.

Crevel will seek to qualify for reduced property tax valuations through habitat control, erosion control, predator control, and performing census counts of species to determine populations.

FLORAL SALES & GIFTING
Crevel is devoted to our floral gifting program which is funded entirely through garden memberships & donations. Our goal is to spread hope through the gift of flowers.

The garden will grow a selection of flowers to be given to local recovery communities as cut stems identified below with an asterisk. The garden focuses on communities recovering from physical and mental illnesses, addiction, financial hardships, displacement, and other disadvantages.
